Good Companions

Wednesday, October 22, 2008

As much as I enjoy our nightly routine (i.e., cook dinner or eat out and watch a movie, play Scrabble, or work on crafts) I also appreciate an occasional date. I like the message it communicates: "I care enough to set aside time to plan something that will make you happy."

So tonight's date? Pumpkin carving! (and seed roasting)

And, as an additional surprise, I did all the grocery shopping for the week (which Matt and I usually do together), so we have more time to just carve and relax. Matt gets to choose from our five menu options:

Vegetarian lasagna

Homemade pizza (did you know Whole Foods will sell you a thing of raw dough for real cheap?)

Black bean and yam quesadillas with guacamole

Grilled cheese and spicy bean soup (with homemade bread)

Tomato, mozzarella, and basil sandwiches

So, um, I'm noticing every single meal has cheese. I guess that's what happens when I do the shopping...

Us

We're the kind of people who would rather be outside than in. We drink mostly water. A lot of it. We're the kind of people who put on costumes at Halloween and drive around town delivering brownies (with bows) to friends and random people in the service industry. We cook four nights a week and eat out three. We're passionate about making the world better, and we spend lots of time actually trying to do it.
